Adriana Alexandru et al. The energy policy strategies and measures agreed by EU start from the idea that the market offers a large range of products that perform the same services, with highly different energy consumptions. If the buyer wants to buy a certain product, he receives at the first sight the information concerning the price. In order to take right decisions, he has to be informed on energy consumption and, also, to be trained for processing and interpretation of this information. Thus, the market has to be not only studied, but also formed, trained for stimulating the achievement of the strategic objectives on long terms (particularly the energy efficiency performance and sustainable development). Thus, in 1991 the Council of EU adopted the program SAVE having the objective of promoting the energy efficiency in all sectors, including residential sector. Government actions, including promoting and informing campaigns, voluntaries agreements, legislations and standards, have been promoted through this program. The program “Intelligent energy for Europe” is currently running. Its goal is to remove non-technological (social, cultural, institutional, legislative) obstacles in promoting the power efficiency. The program includes four subprograms: SAVE, COPENER (payment conditions, legislations), STEER (power efficiency in transportation sector) and ALTENER (efficiency in producing electricity and heat). The first two subprograms (SAVE and COPENER) explicitly contain efficiency promoting actions in residential sector. The aim of the current researchdevelopment policy in energy sector of EU reflected by FP6 is to achieve a sustainable 6 INGINERIA ILUMINATULUI 18-2006 development also by increasing the energy efficiency. In the last months, the European Commission adopted two important documents: “Green Paper on Energy Efficiency or doing more with less” and “Green Paper on European Strategy for Sustainable, Competitive and Secure Energy”. These documents consider that the lack of information is the main bottleneck for the energy efficiency. The first actions have been undertaken in Romania starting with the first half of the last decade. It was distinguished the project PHARE “The energy labeling of the domestic appliances” performed by an international consortium led by the NIFES company from England. Romania was a partner in European projects focused on the energy efficiency promotion within the SAVE and ALTENER programs, as: ELDA – Development of the European information system on the domestic electric appliances; EADE – Extension of the database on the European level for the web access with the energy efficient appliances data; PENELOPE-BACCHUS – Promotion of the energy efficiency at the local administration level by the dissemination of the results of the European projects and partners. Cooperation acts towards an improvement of the efficiency of the energy use in structure funds. Many projects financed by the Romanian Ministry of Education and Research focused on the energy efficiency. For example, INFRAS program – Impact study of the European directives in the field of the electric and electronic appliances, and ORIZONT 2000 – Analyses of the
European experience on the energy efficiency indicators 2001. The National Strategy in the energy efficiency field adopted by the HG 163/2004 underlines that the residential sector has a primary energy saving potential at 3.6 million tones equivalent petrol through 6.8 million tones of the total final consumers; it means more than 50%. This potential can be capitalized by the buildings heating rehabilitation, the improvement of the heating and lighting systems and of the electric domestic appliances. The EU Directives related to the labeling of the energy parameters for many electric appliances have been used in order to be implemented in the Romanian legislation. The Government Program on the following years 2005-2008 states the necessity to accomplish the legislative and institutional frame in order to apply the flexible mechanisms adopted by the Kyoto Protocol, to pursue the implementation of the technical and economical measures for the reduction of the greenhouse gases emission, in accordance with the features of the National Plan for the Allocation of the Emission Quotas, the development of the National Plan for the Climatic Changes Action, the improvement of the energy efficiency and the promotion of the renewable energy sources. In this frame and in accordance with the EU policies, there is a priority for Romania "to remove the non technological barriers by the market formation and education" by developing: • Campaigns at the national levels for the people education and information concerning the energy efficiency concept, the significance of the energy efficient electric appliance choose (related with the appliance energy label), the CREFEN – An informatic system opportunities to obtain important reductions of the energy consumption in residential sector with low levels of their costs; • Education and information campaigns in general and high schools, universities and even children gardens concerning the energy savings. 2. Objectives of the CREFEN project The problems to be solved by the project deal with energy efficiency and saving energy field (specific objectives): • Drawing up of scenarios and prognosis of electricity consumption in residential sector; • Achievement of an advanced modeling and simulation software system-tool of electricity consumption in residential sector and of economical and environmental effects; • Using a tool for defining the potential of energy saving, prognosis and scenarios of consumption evolution; • Improvement of the degree of taking into consideration by the consumers, decision factors and specialists of the opportunities, advantages of promoting new technologies in electricity consumption in residential sector, in the framework of a sustainable development integrated at the European level; • Designing and implementation of a web application with databases for domestic and lighting appliances available on the Romanian market, which include information from the energy label and fiche; • Design and implementation of the software for an interactive system and an electronic book. As measurable objectives we mention: • Influence of the consumer decision concerning electricity saving at residential level and acquisition of energy efficient appliances; • Consumer education, in general, and young people, in particular, for environment protection and reduction of greenhouse effect; • Interconnection of Romanian research in electric energy efficiency field in residential sector to similar European projects (for example DG JRC project, IES, Ispra, "Energy INGINERIA ILUMINATULUI 18-2006 7
